:01:21. > :01:33.What is the latest? Well, his house is down this road behind me and it
:01:34. > :01:36.has been is seen if you delete activity all morning. We are not
:01:37. > :01:41.allowed near because forensic teams have been here, nearly two dozen
:01:42. > :01:48.police officers turned up as what is now a huge investigation. Mr Hedger
:01:49. > :01:52.was shot by injury does in the early hours of yesterday morning. Police
:01:53. > :01:58.say, they do not know exactly what what happened, he was shot where he
:01:59. > :02:01.later died from his injuries. They are looking for anyone who might
:02:02. > :02:05.have been a witness or heard or seen anything, they are appealing for
:02:06. > :02:08.witnesses but they do not yet know exactly what has happened here. They
:02:09. > :02:11.are carrying out a police investigation at the house and there
:02:12. > :02:15.will be a press conference from Dorset Police raid on this
:02:16. > :02:22.afternoon. We know he was in the house with at least one other person
:02:23. > :02:25.believed to be his partner, that partner is believed to be deeply
:02:26. > :02:29.affected by what happened although they were uninjured. They think
:02:30. > :02:33.their were two intruders involved in the incident, at least one of them
:02:34. > :02:36.carrying a firearm, the police are looking for the firearm is part of
:02:37. > :02:41.the investigation. They are not yet clear about the motivation. This is
:02:42. > :02:44.a highly exclusive area, just on the outskirts of Bournemouth where most
:02:45. > :02:52.of the houses are detached, they have high hedges and electronic
:02:53. > :02:55.gates, it is an affluent area, and it is possible but it was motivated
:02:56. > :03:00.by burglary but police are not confirming that. We have had in the
:03:01. > :03:06.last few minutes a statement from Mr Hedger's employers, he worked for an
:03:07. > :03:10.educational trust which runs schools in the area. In its statement it
:03:11. > :03:14.said that it is shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of Guy
:03:15. > :03:19.Hedger. It goes on to say, he was one of the founding directors of the
:03:20. > :03:23.trust, when it was formed in 2012, he became a director and he will be
:03:24. > :03:28.deeply missed by all those who worked with him. So early stages of
:03:29. > :03:32.the investigation. Many officers are now arriving at the scene, they are
:03:33. > :03:37.expected to be hit the rest of today. -- day are expected to be
:03:38. > :03:40.here on the rest of the day. Three women have been arrested
:03:41. > :03:42.on suspicion of terror offences The arrests are being linked
:03:43. > :03:45.to the counter-terrorism operation that saw a woman shot and injured
:03:46. > :03:48.in Willesden in north A total of ten people
:03:49. > :03:51.have now been arrested in connection with what's known
:03:52. > :03:53.as the Harlesden Road Social media companies have been

:04:30. > :04:34.companies. Despite repeated requests for this to be done. The home
:04:35. > :04:38.affairs committee had taken evidence from Facebook, Twitter and Google,
:04:39. > :04:44.which owns YouTube. The companies have billions of users around the
:04:45. > :04:48.world. MPs have now lost patience. I think the richest and biggest
:04:49. > :04:53.companies in the world have both the ability and the responsibility to
:04:54. > :04:56.make sure that this kind of illegal and dangerous material is removed. I
:04:57. > :05:01.do not think they are taking this seriously enough, and I think they
:05:02. > :05:04.need to. The MPs suggest fines, potentially millions of pounds, the
:05:05. > :05:09.companies which do not remove posts enough. They are also proposing that
:05:10. > :05:16.companies pay for police to investigate online material
:05:17. > :05:21.suspected of being illegal. But is it really possible to quickly spot
:05:22. > :05:25.extremist material, like this jihadist recruitment video, amid the
:05:26. > :05:30.millions of posts being put up on social media sites every day? There
:05:31. > :05:33.is certainly more that companies can do and they themselves have
:05:34. > :05:36.acknowledged that. They could be improving takedown times, partnering
:05:37. > :05:43.with each other to flag content across platforms, but we should also
:05:44. > :05:46.be careful. The way that systems and platforms work is that they have a
:05:47. > :05:53.limited liability for the content on there. Much like the post of this
:05:54. > :05:57.cannot steam open every single envelope to see if criminals are
:05:58. > :06:00.sending messages to each other. So at the moment social media company
:06:01. > :06:03.is our reliant on their users reporting what they consider to be
:06:04. > :06:13.illegal material. And for the MPs that wrote the report today, they
:06:14. > :06:14.are not accepting that and they expect the tech giants to do much

:16:54. > :16:58.Richard Westcott reports. Time's running out
:16:59. > :17:00.for many of our buses. They carry three times more people
:17:01. > :17:02.than the trains but thousands of council-subsidised routes have
:17:03. > :17:07.gone in recent years. This is the 267 late-night

:17:16. > :17:18.that is facing cuts across the country, and in fact come
:17:19. > :17:21.September the funding for this service is going to
:17:22. > :17:26.run out completely. Most of the passengers
:17:27. > :17:28.on this bus are young, like Holly, who works
:17:29. > :17:33.lates in a restaurant. And Josh, who goes
:17:34. > :17:35.to college in Bath. They can't afford to drive,
:17:36. > :17:38.catch the more expensive train It's a really, really big deal
:17:39. > :17:45.because you just can't find the same opportunities in a small town

:18:51. > :18:53.that's how we are successful, is how the communities
:18:54. > :18:55.we serve are successful. When we are criticised for bus cuts
:18:56. > :18:58.or whatever, we do take it hard. We only ever withdraw a service
:18:59. > :19:04.as a very last resort and of course very often at the moment
